Morphology of the Vasculature and Blood Supply of the Brown Adipose Tissue Examined in an Animal Model by Micro-CT

Table 1

Vascular thickness (refers to the inner diameter of the blood vessels without its walls) distribution in interscapular BAT in one mouse example. Values are split into 7 intervals within 4 categories: (i) vascular thickness shows vessel diameters in 7 intervals, (ii) average vascular thickness shows average diameter of the vessels, (iii) volume of vessels shows the total volume of vessels within given interval, and (iv) percentage volume of vessels shows numbers of vessels in intervals out of 100% of all measured vessels.

Vascular thickness (μm)	Average vascular thickness (μm)	Volume of vessels (mm^3)	Percentage volume of vessels (%)
	89.12	2.82	16.05
	178.25	4.37	24.84
	267.37	3.29	18.73
	356.49	3.66	20.79
	445.61	2.13	12.07
	534.74	0.736	4.18
	623.86	0.587	3.33
